RYAN Gives Back

Learning Club of KCK is an after-school and summer tutoring/mentoring program for high-risk children in Kansas City, KS. They seek out the most disadvantaged children, meeting in high-poverty areas so that even students who lack transportation and parental support can attend. Every Monday for the past three years, associates have been donating a couple of hours of their day to help these students unlock their potential through one-on-one tutoring and life skills development, providing the keys to a better future.

We started fundraising for St. Jude in 2010 when an associate’s daughter was diagnosed with a brain tumor at the age of 11 months. This news affected all of us here at RYAN, and that is when we started getting involved with the St. Jude community in Kansas City. Every year we attend the St. Jude Walk/Run to End Childhood Cancer, along with friends and family members, in support of children who are battling cancer and other life-threatening diseases. We share the same mentality that we won’t stop until no child dies from cancer.

The Cristo Rey Network® consists of 32 Catholic high schools across the United States that exclusively serve low-income students. All students participate in a work-study program through which they finance most of the cost of their education while gaining real-world job experience. Teams of four students fill a full-time entry-level position, with each student working five days per month. Students receive an excellent college preparatory education and invaluable experience and training on the job. Work study subsidizes approximately 50% of the cost of education.
